Pet Dermatologist in Dubai
Treating skin allergies, infections, ear disease, and coat conditions in cats and dogs.
Watching your pet scratch constantly is distressing. Hair loss, skin inflammation, and the smell of a skin infection make daily life uncomfortable for your pet and worrying for you. At Paw Sisters, our pet dermatology service goes beyond surface-level treatment. We identify the underlying cause and treat it properly, so the improvement lasts.
Conditions We Diagnose and Treat
At Paw Sisters, we treat the full spectrum of skin conditions seen in cats and dogs in Dubai – from seasonal atopy and food allergies to bacterial pyoderma, Malassezia yeast infections, mange, ringworm, autoimmune skin disease, seborrhoea, and skin masses. Our approach combines accurate diagnostics with structured treatment plans and practical home-care guidance.
Allergy Diagnosis and Treatment
Allergies are among the most common causes of skin disease in pets. They fall into two main categories: food allergies (triggered by proteins such as chicken, beef, or dairy) and environmental allergies, known as atopy (triggered by pollens, dust mites, mould, or grass). Both cause similar symptoms – chronic itching, redness, ear infections, and paw licking – but require completely different management plans. At Paw Sisters we use elimination diet trials and, where needed, intradermal allergy testing to identify the specific trigger before building a long-term treatment strategy.
Skin Infections
Bacterial and yeast skin infections in pets cause intense itching, odour, hair loss, and skin thickening. These infections are often secondary to an underlying allergy or hormonal issue. We begin by identifying the type of infection through cytology, then prescribe targeted treatment. Treating the infection alone without addressing the underlying cause leads to rapid recurrence.
Ear Issues
Ear infections in pets are frequently linked to underlying skin allergies or anatomical factors. At Paw Sisters, we examine the ear canal thoroughly using an otoscope, take cytology samples to identify the causative organism, and treat both the infection and its root cause. Recurring ear infections are a flag that the underlying condition needs to be addressed.
Surgical Interventions
In some cases, skin lesions such as cysts, lipomas, or masses require minor surgical removal to prevent irritation, secondary infection, or progression. Paw Sisters is fully equipped to handle these procedures in-clinic, and our team will advise you clearly if surgical intervention is recommended.
Advanced Dermatology Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective skin treatment. At Paw Sisters, our dermatology diagnostics include skin scrapes to identify mites and fungi, cytology to detect bacterial or yeast infections, impression smears, hair plucks for fungal culture, and elimination diet trials for food allergy cases. This level of diagnostic detail means your pet gets the right treatment – not just a generic approach.
How We Diagnose and Treat Your Pet in 3 Steps
At Paw Sisters, we understand the distress that skin conditions cause – for your pet and for you. Constant scratching, hair loss, hot spots, and skin odour are exhausting. Our dermatology service starts with a thorough clinical examination, followed by targeted diagnostics and a structured treatment plan. Whether the cause is allergies, infection, parasites, or an immune condition, we work methodically to identify it and address it.
Consultation and Full Examination
The first step is a detailed skin examination. Our vet inspects every affected area, assesses the distribution and pattern of the lesions, checks the ears and paws, and takes a full history of your pet symptoms, diet, environment, and any previous treatments. This information shapes which diagnostic tests we recommend next.
Diagnostic Sampling (If Needed)
Where the clinical examination points to a specific cause, we collect appropriate samples – skin scrapes, swabs, hair samples, or skin biopsies – and analyse them in our in-house laboratory. Results are typically available the same day, allowing us to begin targeted treatment promptly.
Creating a Treatment Plan and Follow-up
With a confirmed diagnosis, we build a tailored treatment plan that may include topical medications, medicated shampoos, systemic antibiotics or antifungals, anti-itch therapy, hypoallergenic diet trials, or environmental management advice. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the plan as your pet responds to treatment.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Our clients success stories are what motivate us at Paw Sisters to deliver the best possible dermatological care for pets. Seeing a dog that was constantly scratching finally sleep peacefully, or a cat coat return to full health after months of hair loss, is why our team does what they do.
